Any idea what critter this potter/mason wasp is attacking for breakfast? I'm not sure based on online images I compared matching a physical description. North Texas zip code 75082. Thanks!

It's some type of Salvia
Salvia farinacea? https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/148006-Salvia-farinacea
Thanks for the ID on the salvia. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. I was actually wondering what the wasp seems to be holding that looks like a gray green black spotted caterpillar. I'm attaching a new photo, could it possibly be a carrot-seed moth larva?

That's as good a guess as any - there are some other species having a similar color pattern.
Thanks!
